US Supreme Court faces landmark cases on birthright citizenship, agency firings and immigration

The United States Supreme Court is set to issue decisions on more than two dozen high‑profile cases before its summer recess. Key pending matters include the challenge to President Donald Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship, a case in which the Court appears inclined to uphold the 14th Amendment’s automatic citizenship rule.

Other major disputes involve the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Syrians and Haitians, the definition of “arrival” for asylum seekers at the Mexican border, and the authority of the president to fire independent agency officials such as FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter and Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook. The outcomes could reshape immigration policy, citizenship law, and the balance of power between the executive branch and independent agencies, while also carrying significant political implications for the Trump administration.
